Damn near 4 days of battery, ive not seen such a thing. Not to mention it doesnt look like the phone was in standby the whole time either.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] God_Lx:
What do you mean it doesn't seem the phone was in standby? The screen hardly is on so unless you can use your phone without lighting up the screen the phone was almost never used...

That battery isn't a big deal, just leave your phone with wifi always off and screen off and i'm almost sure we could break 5 days...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
FYI, i believe wifi drains less battery than 3g so leaving it on connected would be better ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rocketpaul:
yes indeed, i was looking at awake time rather than screen time. It would be interesting to know how many screen time hours was achieved in this case. I rarely break the 3hr barrier as i am quite a heavy/intense user.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
Please could anybody confirm Which kernel is the bln enabled one?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
2.0.4 which this comes with and above but 2.0.5 is supposed to have bln battery related tweaks so would say go for this or try any above this as they all have the support and you may get different results with battery to me and others who prefer the earlier versions (2.1.0 for me) to the newest 2.1.3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jobias:
I've got that too. Atm it's down to 1% with 3 hr 15 mins screen on time..and a total of 18 hours of use since removing it from the power. I guess that's normal :-)

Or isnt it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tomdot:
Thanks for clarifying. With this Kernel (2.0.5 and 2.1.3) I only get BLN for 1 app (Whatsapp), email, sms do not work. The BLN free app test function also does not work.

I've tried replacing liblights.so to no avail.

Does anyone else have problems with BLN?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angel of other:
a - BLN doesn't work with built in SMS

b - the paid one doesn't work as well or consistanly as the paid one (yes I did test the free one before buying the paid version)

c - seriously does nobody search the damn thread & read the previous pages?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] padlad:
You need to install the fix/mod from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206726&highlight=bln it should then work without any problems, it does for me for Gmail, stock sms and Samsung stock email client.

I don't think you are being fair giving someone grief for not searching when, if you had searched, you would of found there is a fix for BLN not working with stock messaging app :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
lol owned, well played Sir ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angel of other:
yes there is a world of fixes out there but out of the box, VR2.4.2 does not have the mod for BNL to play nice with the default samsung sms client

that & it's easier to get a better sms client like handcent

I've started using Hardcore's Speedmod T39 kernel and the battery life is epic.

1day, 13hours since unplugged, screen on 3hr 16min and still 27% left.

Awesome.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nonchipmunk:
How much screen time? And is your 3g always on?

I got 1 day 12 hrs with Ninpo 2.0.5. I got 3hrs 10 mins of screen time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] troffers:
Screen on for 3hours 35mins, auto brightness, no 3g but lots of wifi.

Not many calls but a fair bit of browsing with Dolphin HD and loads of Whatsapp.

Seems better to me than Ninpo 2.0.5

Now on 1 day, 19hours and still 10% left

Having trouble with SMS.

Not receiving all them at random times.

However I was able to send them out just fine.

VillainROM 2.4.2

Ninpo2.0.5

Been using KG6/KG2 both with same issue.

Trying KG3 modem now.

Using Bell SGS2 unlocked to Fido.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Strange. No issues have been reported other than you. See if the modem helps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bobola:
I actually went ahead with KH3 now.

Plus its really hard to test cause it is random at all time.

I have my buddies txt me every now and then and then msg me on the computer if to see if I got all the txt or not.

So far so good thou.!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
I'd just like to say I have a Bell SGS2 and I'm on Rogers (same thing as Fido) without any issues. If KH3 doesn't fix it I'd try clean install of VillainROM.

M running VR 2.4.2 ninpheta 2.1.0 & KH3 Modem ...

My problem is certain apps hang and crash the entire rom so much that the phone restarts by itself ..

so far the phone has crashed for Firefox (both stable and beta) Quadrant Standard & Asphalt 6

a peculiar feature of these crashes is everytime the phone hangs and restarts 10-12% of battery is used up mysteriously ..

I m concerned if this is causing any physical damage to the battery or not.

if any one knows about this problems plz suggest imm action

- I have 3g running continuously

Will there soon be an update on KH3?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
omg, there has been many many replies on why there wouldn't be an update to KH3 and the reasons. please read through the thread first will you?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] bobola:
*UPDATE*

Didnt test much with KG3.

Using KH3 now.

Seems like I'm getting all the sms.

But then other party not receiving my calls.

(ie Call contact, it rings on my end, but the contact never recieve any of my calls.)

It also happen at random time too, in a stationary position, so I dont think is my signal.

I'm going to go ahead and do a new download and fresh install of the Rom.

*fresh install with no tweak or w/e; VilliainRom and KG3 modem, see how it goes*
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kamale:
I'm currently using MIUI and i wanna totally clear my phone of any crap or anything else that has to do with my pass roms. I noticed under the instructions pulser instructs to do a factory reset if your coming from another rom.

Factory reset questions.

Will my contacts disappear?

Will my pics and videos go too?

I'm using CWM ROM Manager V4.4.0.7 what i do is i select "Reboot into recovery" and thats where i can find the factory reset and wipe cache and delv cache etc. Is this correct??

If possible i wanna remove everything except photos videos and contacts. So basically i want it fresh so it has 1 rom on it. Coz now when i look in my file manager, i can see pasts rom folders lingering around.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
Are your contacts synced with your google account? if yes they will come back when you sign in in Villain. If not no.

Pics and videos will remain.

Yes select reboot to recovery in rom manager.

follow the instructions in post 2 and your good to go.

When you went from stock to miui did your contacts come back?

If so there going to be synced to your google. On Villain there is a little g next to the contact but i dont know what miui contacts look like sorry.

no problem with your rom number.

When your installed you want to look at upgrading the kernel, the one with VR is an older one, 2.0.5 was recommended by Pulser.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kamale:
Ok lol, uhh i never really understood what the kernel does. I thought usually everything was together with the rom. So the one i downloaded on page one by pulser is using an older kernel?

And the newer one is suppose to be quicker? I'm guessing so coz on the thread you passed me i see alot of "FASTERERRRR" LOL. BTW this rom is insanely smoothe and quick. Better then MIUI or Litening even.

At the same time you would write me why can not

Hey guys.i just flashed the rom and then used the gscript bload deleter..but after that, i cannot seem to be able to use flash content even though i installed flash player from market..i tried clearing its data, moving it from /data to /sys and still nothing..anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Its possible you removed something you shouldn't have. Why didn't your just flash the lite version made by Gigamesh?

He removes most if not all of the useless stuff including the hubs etc..

You could also try downgrading your flash player version.

In other news, if you want to remove the compromised Diginotar master SSL certificates, you can do so using this app from Guardian Project to remove them.

https://market.android.com/details?id=info.guardianproject.cacert&feature=search_result

Should be fairly obvious. Just search "diginotar", and long press it and delete it. You can do a backup etc, or just recover the file from the original zip, if you mess up.

I advise you remove this certificate, especially if you live in or around Iran, or think you are at risk of a man in the middle attack...

Apologies for my questions but im looking for a rom with great battery life and i heard this is the best. im using cognition at the mo and i get a good day out of it and thats with wifi on all the time. now i know the stock browser is laggy but first what kernel is best to use with your rom please and which browser you guys recommend. i do like stock but if its laggy whats next best
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:

Does anyone experience weird behavior when using Swype?

So what has been happening is, when I have swyped some words with Swype and I moved the cursor back to the middle of a word (by tapping on it) in order to edit a letter, the cursor jumped to the end of that particular word automatically, this always happened the first time I tapped that word, so I had to tap the second time to make the cursor stay there, kinda annoying I must say.

For instance, I have the word "Hello", I tapped on the middle of it, the cursor moved to the position between both letter 'l' as expected, but in a matter of milliseconds it jumped by itself to the position after letter 'o', I had to tap the second time to get back to the position that I want.

I wonder whether this issue is related to this ROM or something else, when I was using the stock firmware, I never had this kinda problem.

Any help is appreciated. :)

P.S.: I don't have this problem with Samsung Keypad, but I prefer swyping.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
I see the same behaviour on my phone - I thought it was just a 'feature' of the version of Swype on the SGS II - ie just tap anywhere on the word and it goes to the end. I agree it's a bit annoying!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
right finally got it working the way i do and just charging it up now. Using KH3 modem since coming from another rom and using the Nimpo kernel 2.0.5 that has been suggested. i will charge it to the max and then calibrate it let it drain to death then recharge it again. once i do that, do not need to calibrate it or the steps that i just said are ok?

and one last thing i do not seem to be getting any notifications regarding facebook and other apps that i have sorry do i need to configure anything in settings? other than that im good to go
